✨ "When the mask falls, eternity begins."
Everyone thought Daniel Graham was a saint.
He sang in the choir, preached to children, counseled the broken, and served in nearly every corner of the church. To his congregation, Daniel was the definition of a young man on fire for God-a rising star destined for greatness.
But no one knew the secrets he carried.
Behind the pulpit smile was a life of hidden sin-lies whispered in the dark, secret affairs with choir members, and a dangerous involvement with a crime syndicate that preyed on the innocent.
When Daniel's life ended suddenly, his two worlds collided in a way he never imagined. In the courtroom of eternity, angels and demons fought for his soul, and the truth of his double life was revealed. The verdict was undeniable... and eternal.
A Soul in the Balance is a gripping spiritual allegory-a haunting story about the dangers of hypocrisy, the deception of hidden sin, and the reality of judgment. More than a novel, it is a wake-up call for every Christian to live in true holiness before God.

Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head.

He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete
The Death Penalty.
It was a dream, no, a nightmare.

When did punishments become so ancient? As she struggles to understand her dilemma while trying to escape it, she discovers shocking confessions from people she thought she knew... unbelievable confessions. Things she probably would never have known if her death penalty wasn't made public to the entire college. Follow Elena in the weirdly dramatic, unbelievably real twist in her life as she discovers that she wasn't the person, or the Christian she thought she was, discovers past secrets that shock her... make her truly doubt if she is worth living. A story of a dark, lost soul discovering her true self.

1.1 | Edge Of Divinity ✔
She spent her entire life in servitude, raised to believe she was just ordinary - an insignificant speck in a world she's always been sheltered from. But one fated encounter is about to change her mundane existence forever, and she's all too willing to answer the call of her destiny. --------------------------------------------- Abandoned as an infant, Sahera has spent all her days at the beck and call of Mother Lucine, the matron of the convent she was raised in. Suffering exclusion and abuse from both her maternal figure and her sisters, she copes with the belief that this is the debt she owes. Keeping her head down makes her day to day more bearable, and as long as she has food and shelter, she shouldn't want for more. Still, she can't help but feel she doesn't belong in the slightest. It isn't until she meets the mysterious yet generous Roman that she begins to question if there's more to this miserable existence of hers. The last thing she expects is to be completely uprooted from her world and thrust into the treacherous yet beautiful reality he lives in. The mission he's on, accompanied by his four beautiful and intimidating guardians, seems like something beyond her wildest dreams. It certainly feels like fantasy when he reveals the role she supposedly plays in his life. Sahera eagerly rises to the challenge, but with ferocious foes she's never seen the likes of at every turn, crushing secrets ready to unfold, and her enigmatic past waiting to be revealed just on the horizon, will she be able to withstand all the trials and tribulations?Complete![The Underworld: Book One of the Dark Worlds [Edited!]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/387181-256-k527693.jpg)

She pauses and looks at me then puts down my paper and speaks to the crowd "She doesn't remember anything about being alive so she is an oddity and a collectible.

❝He named me Satan - but I still remember the hymns I once led in His light when I was Lucifer. He tore my wings, but not the memory of flight. Even now, part of me waits for His voice to thunder. To say that it was a test, a lesson, a moment's madness that could be mended. But Heaven is not sentimental. He lets me fall, and the skies do not shake. The choir does not pause. Only those who have known the warmth of the throne's nearness can feel this cold. "Falling meant that I once flew." And that knowledge, that memory, is the one wing I still carry. And it will never let me rest. I was made to worship Him, and now the echo of that song is all that remains of me. Even in the pit, I burn with the beauty He gave me - and that is my curse.❞ A BIBLE STORY (written in lucifer/satan's pov, starting in heaven, ending in his fall)Complete
